I don't understand. You mirror da0 and da1 and still have da0<something>
in your /etc/fstab? Could you provide your /etc/fstab?

If you open some partitions on da0 for writing, it will be disconnected
from the mirror. In that case using daXs1 should help, but the truth is,
that you shouldn't use da0 anymore (use /dev/mirror/gm instead).
